Benefits of Furans Testing

17th April 2024

Both oil and paper play a part in a transformer’s insulation properties and whilst a routine test on the fluid will indicate its overall condition, including di-electric strength, there is a further test available to ascertain the papers condition, their tensile strength: a Furans test.

Discovering degrading oil can be overcome by processing or replacing the oil. However, any degrading of the papers is irreversible. Along with routine and DGA testing of the transformer oil monitoring the Furans facilitates predicting any potential issues enabling preventative measures to be implemented, the planning for end of serviceable life or prior to any catastrophic failure of the transformer.
